Best of the Isles – Humbug Blend
Celebrate the heritage of British sheep breeds with this beautiful natural fiber blend. Our Humbug-style combed top combines 50% Shetland Wool, 25% Bluefaced Leicester Wool, and 25% Manx Loaghtan Wool for a spinning fiber that is as versatile as it is charming.

All my fiber comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the beauty of the color combination. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.

The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.

f the order is a multiple of 4, 2, 1 oz, or any other weight, they will be sent together in one long piece.
